When I was aiming for my first goal, I ate a homemade turkey sandwich with chips for lunch every Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, & Friday! I know it sounds repetitive, but I really did enjoy it. I thought it tasted great and it was really filling. Changing up the chips helped a lot, too!
Wednesday’s were my half-cheat days when I was aiming for my 1st and 2nd goal. On Wednesdays, I’d ditch the homemade sandwich and try Subway sandwiches, Panera, or açaí bowls for lunch instead! This also helped me during my 1st goal of not getting too tired of a sandwich every day.
When I was transitioning from my 1st goal to my 2nd goal, egg toast was a great lunch for me because it was “in-the-middle.” The sandwich was becoming too filling and the egg toast was just the right amount. It wasn’t a small snack, but it wasn’t a full meal either. Eventually, I dropped the egg toast and went into snacking throughout the day when I was aiming for my second goal. These were some of my favorites!
I still eat small snacks throughout the day, but lately I’ve really enjoyed eating yogurt with granola around lunch time. It’s small but satisfying!
